☟ Why motion in front of the camera does not trigger it?
Please Note, the camera will not automatically record under the following
conditions:
1. The camera only takes pictures/videos Manually when the switch button is in the SETUP position.
2. The camera only takes pictures/videos Manually if the APP is connected, regardless of whether the switch
button is in the SETUP or ON position.
Therefore, if your camera is connected to the app, it will not automatically take pictures/videos. Please
disconnect the app and place the camera in an area with activity to test it again.
☟ What is the battery life?
The life of the battery depends on the setting and surroundings:
1. Video Recording setting:
The longer the shot lag(PIR interval) set, the shorter the video length set, and the
longer the battery life will last.
2. Photo mode is better than Video mode:
A 10-second video recording of a battery consumes almost equal to a hundred pieces of
photos.
Shooting at night consumes battery almost twice as much as shorting at daytime because of
Infrared night vision LEDs.
3. Trigger frequency:
If the cameras are triggered frequently, the camera will be weaked up frequently to take
videos.
The higher the trigger rate, the faster the power consumption.
4. APP operation:
Enabling the APP frequency will consume a lot of batteries as well.
5. The environment for solar charging panel's :
If the sun is not very bright, or if it is frequently cloudy or rainy, the solar panels
will not be able to recharge as quickly as the camera's frequent triggers will drain the battery.
We'd better not use rechargeable batteries.
We advise to use 8 pcs LR6 AA Alkaline batteries. Because most recording problems are caused by letting the
batteries drain below 1.25 volts each.
LR6 AA Alkaline batteries which are recommended are generally 1.6 volts new.
☟ It is not capturing as much detection as I would like.
Most trail cameras on the market are designed to conserve battery life and minimize the
number of unnecessary photos taken.
They feature an interval setting, which means any activity occurring during the set interval time will not
trigger the camera.
This is why the camera does not take continuous, uninterrupted photos or videos.
Additionally, when the sensor detects movement, the camera must wake from sleep mode and start recording,
which takes some time.
Therefore, the interval between two shots may be slightly longer than the set
interval time.
If you want it to capture as many moments as possible, we can shorten the set Interval time, but this may
cause the battery be drain quicker.
